I bought three of these for my girls ages 10,6,and 6, for Christmas. I'm happy with the iPod shuffle. It's cute, easy to operate and inexpensive. I got agood deal for them $40 each. Which was a big deal as I was buying more than one.

It wasn't important for them to have the clip on iPods. They hang around the neck just fine. Besides alot of people have had problems with the clip on ipods breaking.

I wanted the to keep in the ipod family because my husband and I have them. And I'd already purchsed a good number of songs on my iPod for my girls. and I didn't want that money to be wasted.
This a great buy for kids. I would suggest this product to anyone looking for an "MP3 style" player. My girls love them! I have no complaints. 18 thumbs up!!!
